ted these inscriptions, which in a few words tell the origin, the history, and the purpose of Harvard:— Harvard University is a chartered and endowed institution fostered by the state. The Charter, given to the President and Fellows in 1650, is still in force unaltered. The direct grants of money made by the Legislature of Massachusetts to Harvard College between 1636 and 1785 amounted to $116,000. In 1814, the Legislature granted $10,000 a year for ten years. Between 1638 and 1724 the town of Cambridge repeatedly gave land to the College. In common with other Massachusetts institutions of education, religion, and charity, the University enjoys exemption from taxation on its personal property, and on real estate occupied for its own purposes. Beginning with John Harvard in 1638, private benefactors have given to the University in land, buildings, and money at least $11,000,000. The principal objects of permanent endowment have been as follows— 1. Instruction

urnal, it was continued in the name of the apprentice. In this situation James became jealous and overbearing, and Benjamin became insubordinate. When it grew evident that there was not room enough in Boston for them both, the younger brother left his indentures behind, and in 1723 made his memorable flight to Philadelphia. Shortly after his arrival in the Quaker city, he found employment with the second printer in Philadelphia, Samuel Keimer, a curious person who kept the Mosaic law. In 1724, encouraged by the facile promises of Governor Keith, Franklin went to England in the expectation that letters of credit and recommendation from his patron would enable him to procure a printing outfit. Left in the lurch by the governor, he served for something over a year in two great London printing-houses, kept free-thinking and rather loose company, and, in refutation of Wollaston's Religion of nature, upon which he happened to be engaged in the composing-room, published in 1725 his supp

e things of this present world. Philadelphia was prosperous and therewith content. Virginia was a paradise with no forbidden fruit. Hugh Jones, writing of it in 1724, considers North Carolina the refuge of runaways, and South Carolina the delight of buccaneers and pirates, but Virginia the happy retreat of true Britons and trueanything written by Mather himself. It was begun in 1673, nine years earlier than the first entry in Mather's Diary, and it ends in 1729, while Mather's closes in 1724. As a picture of everyday happenings in New England, Sewall's Diary is as far superior to Mather's as Pepys's Diary is to George Fox's Journal in painting the En his qualities and in his defects, he became one of its most perfect representatives. To catch the full spirit of that age, turn for an instant to the London of 1724--the year of Franklin's arrival. Thirty-six years have elapsed since the glorious Revolution of 1688; the Whig principles, then triumphant, have been tacitly acc

Baron Eyre, Lord Camden, Mr. Hargrave, Sir Samuel Romilly, Lord Loughborough (Wedderburne),—judges and lawyers who were engaged in the courts during the last quarter of the last century and the first quarter of the present. Four examples of these sketches are given:— Lord Hardwicke. Perhaps this is the greatest name after Lord Bacon in the English Chancery. He was born at Dover, 1690, and was called to the bar, 1715. At the age of twenty-nine, in 1720, he became Solicitor-General; in 1724, Attorney-General; in 1733, Chief Justice of the King's Bench, as successor to Lord Raymond; in 1737, Chancellor, with the title of Baron Hardwicke (his name was Philip Yorke); in 1754 he was created Earl of Hardwicke. He resigned his high office in 1756, and died in 1764. His influence in the House of Lords is said to have been greater than that of any other person in the kingdom. But it is as a great magistrate that he commands the homage of the bar. It is said that, during the twenty ye

home, had souls to save, the testy Seymour replied, with more force than elegance, Damn your souls! Make tobacco! The fullest account of Southern colonial education, in fact of Southern colonial life, is Hugh Jones's Present State of Virginia (1724). He pays his compliments to the prevailing type of education in the following description of an important educational custom of the colonial period: As for education, several are sent to England for it, though the Virginians, being naturally h quotations (n. p., 1725); Cadwallader Colden, Papers relating to an Act of Assembly of the Province of New York, for encouragement of the Indian trade, etc. And for Prohibiting the selling of Indian goods to the French, viz. Of Canada (New York, 1724); Joseph Morgan, The nature of Riches, shewed from the natural reasons of the use and effects thereof (Philadelphia, 1732).

present it is occupied by the Cooperative Society, headquarters for books and student's supplies, and contains one lecture room. Passing from the quadrangle between Weld and Gray's we observe on the right a large granite building. This is Boylston Hall, the chemical laboratory, and was built in 1857. On the wall facing the street is a tablet which informs the reader that- Here was the Homestead of Thomas Hooker 1633-36 First Pastor at Newtown Thomas Shepard 1636-49 John Leverett 1696-1724 Jonathan Mitchell 1650-68 President of Harvard College First & Second Ministers of Edward Wigglesworth 1726-68 the First Church of Cambridge First Hollis Professor of Divinity & Edward Wigglesworth 1765-94 Second Hollis Professor of Divinity As we proceed on our walk Gore Hall, the Library, comes into view.

ho had erected a regular furnace. Another writer, of a still earlier period, thus speaks: Beyond Colonel Spottswood's furnace, above the Falls of Rappahannock River, within view of the vast mountains, he has founded a town called Germanna, from some Germans sent over by Queen Anne. Beyond this is seated the colony of Germans of Palatines, with allowance of good quantity of rich land, who thrive very well and live happily, and entertain generously. Hugh Jones: Present Condition of Virginia, 1724. The latter syllable of the name Spottawood, latinized forms with the former part the name of the county of Spottoylvania. To feed the mines the timber of the country for many miles around had been cut down, and in its place there had arisen a dense undergrowth of low-limbed and scraggy pines, stiff and bristling chinkapins, scrub-oaks, and hazel. It is a region of gloom and the shadow of death. Manoeuvring here was necessarily out of the question, and only Indian tactics told. The troop
